People who are shocked about the increase in SKG support fail to realise how significant YouTube algorithms pushing it to the public eye. Even normie news outlets are talking about it. Literally every Euro from nearly every demographic who cares enough about video games is going to support SKG.

You literally have a movement that everyone's on board with regardless of their background. A harmless movement for video games. Botted? No. That shit is going to skyrocket with enough attention because it has a common enemy that everyone hates - shitty vidya publishers and their furfag mascot.

He isn't getting flak. Literally everyone supports him outside of corpo bootlickers and Thor's fans.

Why do people care more about fucking video games, than all the other 1000 ways they get fucked over, that are way more important than a 10 year old video game losing server support?

Most other causes don't have actual genuine non grifter people like Freeman's mind guy behind it, who is so committed they work on it for years.

I'm not either of those things. I don't support it because it sets a very bad precedent. Suddenly, you are asking government institutions to regulate video games. This is highly questionable, and a door that ought not be opened. If for no other reason than that you should not grant more power to the EU than is absolutely necessary. In fact, the EU's power ought to be diminished and severely limited, if not entirely abolished.

SKG is propped up by jews and indians, the entire concept is antithetical to capitalism. You commiefucks don't even realize that you're being played.

PirateSoftware is a youtuber called Jason, who calls himself Thor because he thinks he's fucking cool.
He spends all day livestreaming himself pretending to code, since he fucking sucks at coding. We know this because he got fired from Blizzard where he only worked because his father got him hired, and his solo indie project is dead in the water.
Despite these achievements, Jason thinks he's a God among men, and talks shit about everybody through voice effects like reverb and pitch shifting so he doesn't sound like a sissy anymore (his default being really fucking gay sounding).

Stop Killing Games (SKG) is an EU initiative to bring the issue of publishers cancelling their games after you bought them, thus robbing you of a product you purchased, to the European parliament so they can make a law against that practice.
The details are much clearer but this is the basic gestalt: stop publishers from preventing you from playing games you bought just because they said it's past its sell-by date.
Force them by law to release a playable build for the purchasers that doesn't require an online connection to play.

Here's where the two meet.
Piratesoi discovered SKG and without reading any of the initiative seriously or watching any of the videos with any degree of respect, proceeding to slam the project.
SKG was looking like it wasn't gonna make its 1 million signature target, which is required for the initiative to proceed.
It's like watching a pathetically weak bully start beating down on an injured dog, laughing at a ship as it sinks.
Everybody who supported the project were quick to point out how wrong he was, and being a Jason thinking he's Thor, he doubled down on being wrong, calling everyone else an idiot who doesn't know shit about game development.
That's when actual game devs with experience got involved and told him to shut the fuck up, that he's wrong, that this is easy to do, and drama channels picked it up from there.

Not at all what's going on.
It's making publishers release a product that works, instead of a revokable license.
This is about honesty in a legal purchase.
